When I was in high school, I was always more motivated to get homework and studying done on days I had practice or a game. On days when I had nothing going on after school, it felt like I had unlimited time to get everything done, so it was easier to put it off.
Often, the more free time you have, the easier it becomes to waste your time. When you have a lot going on and know you won’t have much time to get your studying done, it forces you to become laser focused. Schedule a specific time in your day when you’ll sit down to study–actually scheduling it on your calendar makes you less likely to put it off because it becomes a concrete task that must get done.
